Veteran mixed martial arts official John McCarthy criticized referee Vyacheslav Kiselev for his controversial non-stoppage at UFC 267.<\/p>\n

In one of the most prolonged beatings we have ever seen inside the Octagon, Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos emptied the clip against Benoit Saint Denis over the course of a brutal 25-minute battle between the two welterweights at UFC 267. There were numerous points where the referee could have stepped in and stopped the contest, but he refused to do so, which led the fight to go the full distance. It was an incredible show of heart and toughness by Saint Denis, but he also took unnecessary punishment and damage during this bout<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Unlocking the Cage with Jimmy Smith<\/a>, one of the MMA’s most-respected officials in McCarthy explained how he felt while he was watching the fight play out.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was going nuts. I was standing up in front of my TV, screaming. Look, if he had just let the fight go on, it\u2019s wrong but it\u2019s understandable and it\u2019s understandable based upon there\u2019s pressure there, he\u2019s trying to let the fight play out and he\u2019s looking at it thinking he\u2019s doing a good job of letting this guy continue on even though he doesn\u2019t realize he\u2019s ruining this guy\u2019s career. The loss is not going to ruin his career, the beat down and the damage will,” Smith said (via MMAFighting.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cSo that was one element and then the eye poke. The way he handled it was so horrendous and so wrong for the fighter, and the fighter that had been beat down. So you\u2019re looking and you go, \u2018Come on, you\u2019ve got to be kidding me!\u2019 Then you take a look at the knee, the knee did not hit the groin,” continued McCarthy. “Maybe the shin did, and okay that\u2019s fine, but to take a point for it? No, the knee was placed properly and so you just looked at everything he was doing, he was lost, he was in over his head. Everyone thinks it\u2019s easy. It\u2019s not. It takes time to figure out how to get these things and do them right and be good at them so you just flow with how you\u2019re doing it and at that moment, he wasn\u2019t ready for that type of fight.\u201d<\/p>\n
